"I met Art 20 years ago, and he was my boss for 12 years. Not many people have had a bigger influence on my life than he did. He is part of my family, and he has always made me feel like I was part of his. He was a trailblazer and a big reason why the NFL is where it is now. There are no owners in history who could compare to him as a philanthropist and businessman. You look at the things that he has done for people, how many times he gave people second, third and fourth chances when other people wouldn't have. He was a great humanitarian. Any chance I get, I tell people what a special person he was. There aren¿t many people I could say this about, but I always knew I could count on him, and I think he knew he could always count on me. I will miss him dearly." -- Rob Burnett
